10 Year Anniversary Festival
The 2026 Albany Pride 10 Year Anniversary Festival (Feb 19 to 2 March) is an inspiring and inclusive regional celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. This festival marks a decade of Albany Pride's work to promote visibility, acceptance, and diversity.
The festival is a cornerstone event for the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a platform for connection, support, and celebration. It highlights the journey and achievements of Albany Pride over the past ten years, while also seeking a deeper cultural significance by exploring the progress of our wider community as part of Albany 2026.
Attendees can look forward to a dazzling array of events, including arresting art exhibitions, sparkling performances, impactful workshops, and casual community picnics. Highlights include the Welcome to Country ceremony, a long-table immersive art dinner, and the lively Fairday celebration. Early festival plans also feature glittering parties, inclusive sporting events and opportunities to learn with empowering education sessions.
This festival not only celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community but also fosters inclusivity and unity. It provides a significant economic boost to local businesses and showcases Albany's natural beauty.
Join us for an inspiring journey as we honour Albany/Kinjarling's rich cultural heritage and those in the LGBTQIA+ community who persevered in the face adversity to build the community we now enjoy.
